The asteroid that Analemma Tower is connected to would be placed in a geosynchronous orbit that would describe a figure of eight over the Earth. The tower would be moving at its slowest speed at the top and the bottom of the figure eight orbit, allowing its inhabitants to interact with Earthlings at these points.

The slowest part of the entire trajectory would happen over New York and the whole trip would take 24 hours. The loop would also include passes over the south east coast of the US, Cuba, Ecuador and Peru.

With a gigantic tower hanging below. These people seem to want to make a blend of all disaster movies, from the 70s through the 90s and up to today

Who even made the rule that we cannot group ducks and fish together for the simple reason that they are both aquatic? If I want to group them that way and it serves my purpose then I can jolly well do it however I want to and it is still a nested hierarchy and you can't tell me that it's not.

Wind resistance would cause the orbit to decay making the building crash and killing everyone.

why dont we just pull the moon closer so its orbit is in sync with earth rotation'?

Then only a privileged few people on the planet will even get to see the moon, and you will no longer have a tidal system on the planet, destroying the habitat of many organisms that rely on it. Sea levels on one side of the planet will be permanently higher, and on the other side, lower.

It won't last anyway, since events on the planet can and do alter the rotational period (any big redistribution of mass like in a tsunami will do it), so the moon will drift again. Though if one can move the moon, this point is moot.

Advantages: In 24-h you get the whole moon cycle, and have greatly increased the frequency of both solar and lunar eclipses (by about a factor of 28x more frequent).
